Default Rear Control Arm Bushings

How difficult a job is changing the rear control arm bushings. I have a 2001 V-6 Mustang. Are they pressed in or can they be changed without special tools. Mine seem to be squeaking like a truck with 200,000 miles, so I guess it is time to change them, even though I only have 35,000 mi. Thanks for any help.

Mike

You need a press to get them out, it is not that hard, but it is time consuming.

Instead of going to swaping stock bushings consider a set of new control arms with poly bushings, steeda, maxmotorsports.
